ugh yikes. 💔

so basically I finally confronted to my crush that I liked him and he told me that he doesn't like me back which is a total downer and I'm seeing him next week and he said that things might be awkward and he asked if we could just be friends and so I agreed and now we're basically friends w/ a huge tension. I kinda am scared to see him it might be too awkward and quiet and I just don't want it to be this way.. what should I do to make myself look confident or pretend that nothing that he said didn't hurt me ?
